Week 7 NFL DFS Cheat Sheet -2023

Week 7 is chock full of lacklustre matchups—with no games on the Sunday Main Slate having a total over 48.5. Nevertheless, there is gold in them there matchups. Read on prospectors, and stake your claim.

Shootouts Alert: 3 Games That Could Generate Fat Fantasy Totals

  1. Los Angeles Chargers (+5.5) at Kansas City Chiefs (-5.5) – O/U 48.5
    • The Chargers are ranked 32nd in the league in fantasy points allowed to both QBs and WRs, which is good news for Patrick Mahomes and the KC offense.
    • Both KC and LA scored under 20 points in Week 6 and should get their offenses back on track this week.
    • Austin Ekeler had a dud in his return to health last week but should rebound against KC’s subpar run D.
  2. Green Bay Packers (-1.5) at Denver Broncos (+1.5) – O/U 44.5
    • The Broncos allow a DvPL4 of 33.3 FPs to RBs, which bodes well for AJ Dillon. RB1 Jones may be out though (check 90 mins before gametime).
    • The Packers aren’t much better against the run, ranking 27th in the NFL in FPs allowed to backs.
    • While Denver’s D has rebounded from their 70-point dismantling, they’re still allowing 26 points per game across their last three.
  3. Arizona Cardinals(+8.0) at Seattle Seahawks (-8.0) – O/U 44.5
    • Kenneth Walker III could feast against a turnstile Arizona run D that ranks 30th in the league in fantasy points allowed to runners.
    • Prior to last week’s loss, Seattle had been averaging 33 points per game across their last three games.
    • ARI target leader Marquise Brown will get a chance to break out against a mediocre Seattle secondary.

Contrarian Corner: 3 Under-the-Radar Players to Watch

  1. Rashee Rice, WR, Kansas City Chiefs, $5,000
    • The 72 yards Rice had last week were the most by a KC receiver this season. (Mind-boggling)
    • While Travis Kelce is the focal point of the Chiefs offense, this will be his first game this year facing a top ten D in FPs allowed to tight ends.
    • On the other hand, the Chargers rank dead last in the league in fantasy points given up to wide receivers.
  2. Darren Waller, TE, New York Giants, $5,000
    • The Giants have been pitiful on offense, but Waller has seen his share of opportunities (18 targets across the last two games).
    • The tight end has a target share of 20% over his last four games.
    • He’ll look to find the back of the endzone for the first time this season with Tyrod Taylor behind center.
  3. Drake London, WR, Atlanta Falcons, $5,100
    • London has had an inconsistent start, but he’s upped his fantasy point total in each of the last four games.
    • The Atlanta WR saw 12 targets last week and shredded a bottom-tier Washington D.
    • The Buccs have only been marginally better against WRs this season, ranking 25th in points allowed to the position. This is a critical division game for these teams.

Backup Brilliance: 3 Fill-in Players With Splash Potential

  1. Zach Evans, RB, Los Angeles Rams, $4,000
    • With Kyren Williams banged up, Evans is likely to lead the Rams backfield in Week 7.
    • The Rams are facing a Pittsburgh D that ranks just 26th in the league in FPs given up to opposing runners.
    • The rookie runner got some touches in Week 6 so he does have a few reps under his belt.
  2. Latavius Murray, RB, Buffalo Bills, $4,400
    • Murray will eat up the carries left by Damien Harris as the second back in Buffalo.
    • The Buffalo backup has a median of 1.5 red zone opportunities across his last four games.
    • The Bills could go up big in this one against the Patriots, which may lead to Murray getting more opps.
  3. Adam Trautman, TE, Denver Broncos, $2,600
    • The Denver backup is far from a top option, but with Greg Dulcich out, Trautman’s low price tag limits risk.
    • He did manage 5 targets and a TD in his last full game as Denver’s primary tight end back in Week 5.

Prop Bonanza: Flex players with high prop-to-salary ratios

  1. Jerome Ford, RB, Cleveland Browns, $5,100
    • The lowest TDCost on the board and a -114 TD prop line against a beatable Indy run D.
  2. Keneth Walker III, RB, Seattle Seahawks, $7,000
    • The best TD prop line on the slate at -215.
  3. Brian Robinson Jr., RB, Washington Commanders, $5,800
    • Low TDCost, a -106 TD prop line and likely to be playing with a lead.
